Geology Unit Test----- Everything from September - December

Landforms- What are they? What types are there? Types of mountains- up-warped, folded, fault-block Plains and plateaus- what do they look like? Density-the formula (D=m/v) Water displacement- When you drop a rock or mineral into a graduated cylinder and seeHow much volume the mineral has Valleys- what do they look like? Peaks- What do they look like? Faults are cracks in the earth The crust is also called the lithosphere Location of large mountain ranges like the Himilayas or Rocky Mountains& the Andes Clues like climate clues that lead to the theory of continental drift or plate tectonics Future locations of plate tectonics- like Africa The elevation of a mountain is based upon 0 being sea level Erosion agents (which is fastest?) How volcanoes actually create lava which really is creating new rock. The layers of the Earth, Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust and what is inside each. What a gem is The rock cycle (how one rock can turn into another) Know the chart!!!!!! Types of igneous (intrusive & extrusive) and how to differentiate. Identification of minerals (mohs scale, crystals, luster, cleavage, fracture) Fossils and sedimentary rocks Crystals What is soil? Weathering (what is it?) Oxidation Index fossils and relative dating Imprint fossils Wegener and his theory Pangaea How Earthquakes occur Factors that prove that the Earth is ever changing
